Courageous standing
Bear is carved from angelite by Mike Mahooty. He descends from the extended Mahooty, Lasiloo and Laiwakete family of Zuni artists. Ensuring traditional skills do not fade away, Mike's grandfather the late Chester Mahooty produced some carvings but his late father Eugene Mahooty carved regularly in the 1970's, teaching the art to other family members. A tiny offering necklace is laced with lively lapis lazuli, turquoise and selenite beads. Observant eyes are from turquoise inlays. Approximately 1 5/8" tall, 1 1/4" wide and 7/8" deep.
